[Rwp] My! Lord! am I impressed!

Indeed, this is how I use Reaper, with master track's output set to 17/18 on my Presonus StudioLive 16.4.2's two-track return, such that the master output is not using any of the channel strips on the board.
There was a point when ReaAccess couldn't access master track I/O, and the easiest way to use those channel pairs was to literally set them up as the only two available outputs in Reaper's preferences, which, of course, severely limited access to the rest of my audio interface. This, fortunately, is no longer a problem with either ReaAccess or OSARA.

Yes neither of those plug ins give you full access in the same way you can make it the last touched track or navigate it with VO on the mac. I don’t know if this has since been solved but it was tricky at one point to get to the master I/O button on windows to say change your outputs from 1/2 to say 17/18 if you were using something like the A&H Zed R16 or the PreSonus Studio Live mixers.
